On 26 July 1956, the Egyptian president, Gamal Abdel Nasser, announced the nationalisation of the Suez Canal, thereby sparking the Suez Crisis. At least that is the conventional view. Arguably, Egypt had been on a collision course with the West, especially Great Britain, since the Egyptian Revolution of 1952. And while Egypt and Britain were at the heart of the power struggle that emerged, important roles were also played by France, Israel and the United States (in the case of the latter, especially in bringing the conflict to an end). Seventy years on, Suez continues to fascinate and confound, a milestone in Britain's imperial decline and in terms of the emergence of Arab nationalism.
